Pot up hardy osteospermum daisies and grow them on in frost free conditions until plants are well grown. When plants are well developed and all risk of frost has passed, gradually acclimatise them to outdoor conditions over 7 to 10 days before planting them outdoors into borders and patio containers. Grow osteospermum plants in any well drained soil in a warm, sheltered position in full sun. African Daisies dislike cold wet soils. Improve heavy soil prior to planting by adding plenty of coarse grit.

Feed and water osteospermum plants regularly throughout the growing season. Deadhead faded osteospermum flowers throughout the flowering period to encourage more blooms to be produced.

Tresco purple didn't make it.
I potted up all three when I received these plants
They've been in a cold frame over winter. Both the pink and white have survived but the tresco purple didn't like the cold. I'm assuming it was the cold that killed them. The plants turned black. It wasnt the hardest winter and whilst they didn't have heat they were always covered. So white and pink look healthy but the purple didn't make it.
I'm giving a review in case there is something that might be wrong with these plants and not complaining. I truly don't expect every plant I receive to survive as I may be responsible. You never know, but it is strange that all six are fine and the three of the same name aren't.

Similar experience to barry preece. Planted all together last year. The medium pink are great, easily 5*. The whites have gone, and one feeble dark pink left, so no stars there. (Was not the cold: almost no frost, and many hanging basket plants survived the winter.)
